VERY Basically, TTA is a PPAR agonist, which frees fatty acids to be metabolized. TTA has side two side effects - one good, one not so good.

Not so good is that a study shows TTA increases the activity of DGAT, which transfers acyl groups to glycerols, allowing fat to be redesposited. Salvia Miltiorrhiza inhibits this enzyme.

Good is the fact that TTA also increases the activity of Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase, which carries fatty acids into the mitochondia to be burned. Propionyl-L-Carnitine (which has an affinity for the body's cells) readily exchanges itself for free carnitine. The Propionyl group is also cleaved and sent into the KREBS cycle (and is oxidized to succinate, I believe.) The increased activity also increases oxidation of pyruvate. Potassium Pyruvate is chosen to provide potassium, to help with cramping sometimes seen with TTA usage.

Raspberry Ketones are included because they are potent thermogenics...and we were able to include an effective dose without having to increase to 3 capsules.

Just some info about me: I am 19 years old, attending Georgetown University (freshman) for a degree in Health Care Management and Policy. I was easily 220 lbs+ when I was 17, but I decided to eat right and I got down to a measly 160. I have only been training correctly for a bit over 6 months, so my lifts are not superb yet, but I am making steady progress.

At the moment, my measurements are:

Starting Measurements - In the AM, upon waking:

Waist: 30.5 Inches

Left and Right Bi's: 12 Inches

Chest: 36 Inches

Right and Left Leg: 21.5 Inches

Left Calf: 14-15/16 Inches Right Calf: 14-5/8 Inches

My weight was 168 Dry.

BF % Measured this morning was: 11.0%

I have attached some pictures, so feel free to take a look. I will DEFINITELY be eating over maitenance calories. I am bulking anyways, but with Christmas coming, I will be eating a bit less clean than I normally do. I plan to put on some pounds during the log (I WANT to), and I hope that the DCP can help in making most of that weight muscle and not fat. I am truly excited for this product and I really want to thank Dsade and the rest of RPN for giving me the chance to test it. Thanks!

My goodness you should be disqualified you havin visable abs and all.j/k Congrats on the hard work it took to get that lean after being 220.Hopefully Ill get the start of a 2 pack with the help of the DCP and BERB.Good luck!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths . Proverbs 3:5-6

Thank you very much. The hard work has certainly paid off. I am eating a ton of food now though, so I hope that this helps keep the fat off!

Very good workout. Everything felt nice. I was very very sweaty after finishing. Much more than usual.

I dosed the DCP at 2 caps - 3X a day. I have decided to step up the calories even more. I'm trying to hit about 3600 a day. Wish me luck!

The Day

The day has been nice and relaxing. I haven't been able to update these past couple of days, because after I left for college my mom canceled our interenet! I need it back! I am at my old school now - hopefully we get it back soon.

Pasta + Meatballs With 93% Lean Beef and Barilla Plus! This will be a good meal.

I'll have a snack as usual and my normal pre-bed CC and PB.

The Day

Really just a good day. My girlfriend and I are wrapping presents today! I have so many to wrap. I can't wait until Christmas. I especially can't wait to see her face when I give her the ring I got her...I hope everyone is having a great holiday season!

I am dosing the DCP usually with breakfast, lunch and dinner, or with breakfast and 4 before dinner. Libido and sweating are still up! The scale is up 3 pounds but my BF is the same as well!

Very solid workout. I went for higher reps with bench and it felt good. First time hitting 8 reps for 135 and I got it twice at that. Felt good. I will be going back to heavy for my next workout. DB shoulder presses were a bit tougher - I'm getting used to the dumbbells at my old gym again, because they balance differently than the ones at school. I tosses a 25 on for weighted dips and it felt great. Unfortunately, this gym doesn't even have dip bars, so I have to use the leg-raise station bars. Not a big deal, but it is a pain.

If it hasn't become clear, I am doing a chest/tris, bi's/back, and leg split right now. I need something to occupy my time and with everyday very relaxing, I am recovering quite well!

Diet

Breakfast:

Oatmeal + Eggs

Post-WO:

2 Scoops of AI Whey

The rest of the day will be a mystery, but there will be more venison!

The Day

Hopefully it goes well - Christmas is almost here!

DCP - Nothing too new to report. Morning wood is a given, as is sweating like crazy! Still 3 lbs. up with no change in BF and maybe a slight reduction.

I know with TTA that some people cramp or suffer from headaches, but I am suffering from either. Must be well dosed!

Good workout. I really liked the "real" T-Bar rows. The one I do at school is more of a chest-supported row. These felt really good. I could have added more weight, but I wanted to keep strict form. Everything else was great!

Breakfast:

Oatmeal + Eggs

Post-WO:

2 Scoops of AI Whey
1.25 Cups of Oats

Not sure what else here, but I will be eating huge!

The Day

Good day and everything. The DCP really makes me quite warm during my workouts. I seem to be noticing a bit of a boost of endurance as well during cardio and other high intensity endeavors. Quite a nice and unexpect effect for me!

Definitely ate a ton today. Really one of the few days where my eating wasn't as clean as I would have liked. You need to live sometimes though and today was one of those days. This is where I hope the DCP helps. I certainly believe that it is. Good stuff here.

Finally got to do Deads again and I remember why I love them so darn much. I really felt strong on them. Very happy.

The Day

Good day. I hadn't planned on working this break, but my uncle called me into work to have me help him with some internet stuff, so I have been working a bit. Money is nice though!

Still dosing everything the same. I am really not seeing ANY effects from the YG. I notice no effects on blood sugar or anything else for that matter. The small effects that I had in the beginning of my usage have faded.

The DCP is going really well though. I am sweating more and seem to be hindering any fat gain on this bulk. Very cool!

I decided to do higher rep squats today and then end with a heavier set. What a difference higher rep squats are! Ouch! Good workout though. Everything felt good.

Post-Meal:

Barilla Plus + 93% Lean Beef + No Salt Added Tomatoes

Dinner + Rest of day:

Who knows...more food. I love the stuff and now is the time to eat!

The Day

Everything is still going well. My DCP is almost gone, as is my YG. I can honestly say that I have felt more from the DCP in 15 days than the 45 days of YG so far. I really had high hopes for the YG - Perhaps I will give the "final version" a try. Could make all the difference. I would like to hope so anyways.

u wanna hear something funny, i felt more from the beta yellow gold then I am the AP. Not that I am not feeling some effects and its been way too early too tell but the powder version seemed too hit bam instantly
